Video card company Inno3D is not sitting still and it seems to be continuously working on new and innovative Nvidia designs. A GeForce GTX 680 design is in the news now as Inno3D is getting ready to release two new graphics adapters based in Nvidia’s Kepler GPU and feature custom printed circuit boards (PCB).

The is not a great difference between the two cards that are currently in the works at Inno3D now as one will come with the standard 2 GB of GDDR5 video memory and the other will get a full 4 GB.

The cooling system has five heatpipes and three removable cooling fans. The company claims a lower noise generation from the cooling system and the clock speeds are higher than the reference design from Nvidia.

The power circuit is reportedly by the first 8-phase control circuit controller manufactured by CHiL and called CHL8318.

There are 8+2 power phases and the frequency settings are set at 1100 MHz for the base clock and 1155 MHz with boost enabled.

The is no clear info on pricing yet.

Damn, crazy. :P

But what's the use? Even on a badly coded game, at full settings, I dunno about 2400 by xxxx, you still may not reach more than 2GB, by most, 3GB. But 4GB? Cmon.

maybe future oriented..

And you are right..currently there is no need of a massive 4 GiGs of GDDR5 memory..It's only gonna raise the price of the card..Nvidia knows that so GTX 680 doesn't come with 4 GB by default..

Well, it's good to show off :P

Yes, 4 GB might be too much, but in some cases you need more than 2 GB VRAM, just like Max Payne 3 or equivalent DirectX 11 games with such that high technologies, in the game when you maxed-out everything, it says that it need minimum of 2500 MB of VRAM, although not very necessary to play on that settings, but you might need such this in Battlefield 3, Ghost Recon or such games. :)

But it is still way too much. :)

Maybe for multi-monitors? I don't know. :lol: Does Nvidia have a counterpart for AMD's Eyefinity?

I guess, multi-monitor should have multi-GPU like AMD CrossFireX or Nvidia SLI things to keep the performance..
